[A case of 10-year survival after combination chemotherapy of 5'-deoxy-5-fluorouridine and cisplatin and adjuvant surgery for gastric cancer with liver metastasis].

: A 36-year-old woman was diagnosed with type 3 advanced gastric cancer with multiple liver metastases in March 1992. The patient was treated with systemic chemotherapy of 5'-deoxy-5-fluorouridine and cisplatin. After 4 courses of chemotherapy, the primary lesion responded and the multiple liver metastases disappeared. Therefore, total gastrectomy with perigastric lymphadenectomy and splenic preservation was performed. Two additional courses of the same chemotherapy were administered after the surgery. The patient has been alive without recurrence for 10 years after the curative resection.
